Bechdel test or called "Bechdel–Wallace test", giving three basic requirements for a movie; Have at least two women in it, talk to each other, and have to discuss something besides a man.
They found that $1 billion smash-hit films between 2014 & 2017 including Beauty and The Beast, Jurassic World and Star Wars: The Force Awakens, all passed the Bechdel test and no film has made $1 billion without the above test.
